White House on Ceasefire Talks: Nothing Is Done Until Everything Is Done
The discussions the U.S. government had on the Lebanon-Israel ceasefire were positive and are headed in the right direction towards a deal, the White House said on Monday.

Kirby noted that no final ceasefire agreement has been reached yet, adding that there will be no announcement from U.S. President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron about a deal tomorrow.
